Question about range of functions of Windchill

Hello,

right now I do not have a installation of windchill, it depends on the range of functions Windchill provides and if they meet my requirements.

"As the central repository for all product-related information" (extracted from: PTC Windchill | Product Lifecycle Management | PTC‌), I wonder which product-related information Windchill does store. For example: If I am designing a 3D-model in PTC creo and want to store the geometric data from this model into Windchill.. is this possible?

Thank you very much!

regards

luis

Hi

yes , Creo CAD integration is one of the functions ...

Windchill is an Enterprise PLM.. not only a CAD repository tool ... lot of functions

multi CAD, Part, xBOMs (design, manufacturing, Service), process plans, Technical Publication authoring ... Change and config management, Workflow engine ... 3D mockup Viz ... supplier mgmt, etc ...

    Hi Gregory PERASSO,

    can you tell me more about the Creo integration?

    Does it really allow to store geometric data from 3D-models, like "this line is 700mm long" ? or more of descriptive data like "you got one creo cad model over there, it was created on x, title x, ..."?

    HI Luis

    have you used a PDM in the past before ?

    Your CREO file will be tightly integrated into PDMLink. ie you will see

    who created it and when

    how often it has been iterated/modified

    relationship with other objects (ie other CAD such as components and assemblies, but also change, promotion, workflow items, discussions, vizualation file)

    If you have some key parameters in your model, they can be automatically be mapped into PDMLink, so for instance if you have Length = 20, you can have this information available in PDMLink without doing anything. The check in process will take care of this for you.

    Does that help ?

    Maybe you need to ask a reseller for a demonstration ?

    Best regards
